Finish It Monday (Video): Dealing With Flames Of Fitness Burn Out

Sooner or later we all feel the flames of fitness burn out. Unfortunately, that time for me has arrived. Like right now. Yep, I’m a little burned from being on the consistent grind with my fitness goals (it’s hard work!), and I’m feeling it quadruplefied from also tending to the Greedy Family. You know, being a mom ‘n stuff.  There’s ALWAYS so much to do.

So here’s my vlog to explain how I’m dealing with the very real issue of burn out. What’s a flaming woman to do? Does she shut down completely to fan the fire, or handle it another way…

So how about YOU? Anybody else feel the fitness flames sometimes?

How To Earn Your Bonus Star This Week (your assignment)

Shall we talk about D-word? …DOING! It doesn’t matter if you’re “doing” at 100 mph, or for whatever reason, you have to turn down the throttle to 35 mph for awhile: JUST DON’T STOP DOING. There is absolutely no way you can Finish What You Started if you don’t “do”.

Doing takes you places. Doing moves you forward. Doing gets you progress. Doing leads to finishing.

Your assignment this week is to  “do” on those days that you’ve planned to “do”, yet the urge to “not do” creeps up as a better option. (I hate when that happens!) And just like I yapped about in the vlog, if you’re forced to adjust your doing because of overwhelming irritations like burn out, injury, other unforeseen crap, etc., then please go on then. So long as you’re doing something! Because something is waaaay better than nothing.

Have a great week!
